Does she look healthy to you? Got her on sale for $10 at Walmart and not sure why they marked her down?

      I’ve taken a very close look deeply at the plant with a flashlight and I can’t spot any insects at all

      it was just the white specs but as someone else said it could just be perlite but def wipe the leaves down!

    The "pests" could just be small pieces of perlite or something. Thats caused me to freak out before too😂. I'm thinking the yellow/brown leaf edges are most likely what caused it to be marked down.

      Ok good lol! Because I was poking the white specks and they weren’t moving so I’m like this can’t be a pest haha
